Hey friends and community!

The Brass Strap Cooperative is a group of queer creatives, organizers, and food service industry workers that are opening a cooperatively owned lesbian & queer bar in Minneapolis.

This space will provide an outlet for people to play music, dance, sell their art, share skills, build families, and above all else, feel safe for generations. We want our space to be as dynamic as our community which is why we want the bar to be a community and worker-owned cooperative. This way, our community has a direct say in what happens with the bar and how it should serve us AND workers get to have control over their workplace!

Your donations will be used to help us secure a location for our bar to live in as soon as possible! This location, while we cannot yet release where it is, is everything we have been searching for. BUT we need your help to take it off the market! Help us raise $150k by July 1st!!

The next $40,000 will be matched by a very generous investor!! So anything you donate will be doubled by them!

We are so grateful for your donations here to help us get to this goal, we are also offering investment opportunities to interested parties as well! If you would like to invest, reach out to us!

Thanks for your support, and we'll save you a seat at the bar!
